Dr. Michelle Chen

Dr. Michelle Chen is a dual China and UK qualified corporate lawyer with over 25 years combined experience in Asia and Europe. She has held numerous senior roles in both governmental and well-known private organizations.

Michelle has extensive experience in assisting UK and Chinese clients to navigate and bridge the gap arising from the differences in cross border legal, cultural, language and commercial practice challenges. This includes successfully completion of high profile, complicated inbound and outbound greenfield, M&A and joint venture projects, and tactfully resolving challenging regulatory and compliance issues for various clients.

Michelle advises a wide range of clients across different sectors including banking, telecom, construction, energy, sports and education.

What Michelle Chen did was successfully negotiate between an 800 year old university and a modern, fast developing city in China. This deal was unprecedented for the University. Without Michelle’s deep knowledge of China as well as Cambridge University, we simply would not have succeeded. I don’t know what we would have done without her.”
